Mr Gregory declares such action a plain violation of the law and the Department of Justice will prosecute anyone guilty. Officers nationwide are to watch for infractions as Section 6 of the federal penal code punishes two or more persons who conspire to hinder United States law with up to six years imprisonment. The May 18 1817 act, called the Selective Soldiers' Bill, now governs conspiracies to thwart agencies enforcing the law and registration, and offenders will be prosecuted and severely punished.
